President McCain's amnesty

With the nomination of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the popular governor of Alaska, Republicans are feeling good about their chances of electing John McCain as president.

I have to admit, I like Sarah Palin. In fact, if she were at the top of the ticket, I would probably vote for her myself.

But she's not on the top of the ticket. Sadly, she is window dressing for the ascension of John McCain to the presidency. Vice presidents don't have much power and authority. In fact, Sarah Palin will find out after she is elected vice president that she was more powerful in her former position as governor of Alaska than as the person who presides over the U.S. Senate and occasionally casts a tie-breaking vote.

That's why I haven't changed my mind about my "None of the Above" position in light of all the excitement about Sarah Palin.

Here's is my prediction about this race now: McCain will win easily as a result of this pick. Barack Obama's star is fading fast. McCain has managed to rally the troops.

So, perhaps it's time to start looking forward to what we can expect from a McCain presidency in 2009.


I predict one of the very first orders of business for McCain will be to sign a sweeping bill granting amnesty to tens of millions of illegal aliens in the United States. This will be a heinous piece of legislation approved by Democratic majorities in the House and Senate and opposed by most Republicans. You can take this prediction to the bank.

I also predict there will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth across America. Many of those who are denouncing me in unusually harsh terms for my opposition to McCain will be complaining to me when this happens. For some reason, they can't see this inevitability coming – or maybe they just prefer not to think about it.

McCain has long been a radical extremist on illegal immigration. He has encouraged it. He has coddled it. He has excused it. He has praised it. And he has repeatedly courted hate groups like La Raza in a bid for a small piece of the anti-American, anti-sovereignty, anti-borders vote.

In January, the chickens will come home to roost.

Rather than Obama signing that legislation authored and approved by a Democratic Congress, it will be McCain doing it. It will also be McCain who gets most of the blame. The same radio talk-show hosts today waxing enthusiastic for the GOP nominee will be saying they just don't understand why the president is taking such a misguided political action.

So, I am warning all of you right now, please don't come crying to me when McCain changes the very character of America with a stroke of the pen. You have been warned. No action by any president can irreversibly and dramatically change the country for the worse faster and more thoroughly than the amnesty that is around the corner. I am telling you what you can do about it now. I have laid out a program for stopping it in "None of the Above." You can heed it or reject it. But you cannot blame me when you don't listen.

When McCain takes this action, as he will, he will be sending the Republican Party into a political wilderness for a decade or more. And that will be a setback from which even Sarah Palin will not be able to recover.
